Thats such a nice looking car, although i agree the rear spoiler looks abit too square!

As if they're not bringing it to the UK, i'd love to import one if i had loads of cash, then tune that bad boy up even more!

You can buy it in Germany - CLICK

Starting at Â£15K - my german aint the best but i spec'd one up with leather and climatronic, winter pack, CD player, elec windows, heated seats, flip key, auto wipers and lights with coming home feature and it came to 19K

If I got one I wouldn't change a thing on the front end (Besides xenons if you can get them) but I would get me some polished TT 5 spokes and make the rear look like this

Yea I couldn't be arsed to sort out the sky but I think smoked lights and a smoother rear on mk7s look amazing.

I bet the Cup ends up being like the current gti and the new gti being like the 16v in terms of rareity and pecking order.
Cup does look the dogs...its a shame it looks like the money men rushed the development of the gti....the cup shows that they should have waited and bit and developed it a little more.

i'd definately look into buying one if they released it, i might look into a standard Mk 7 GTI for my next car

Welcome to the forum but it's already been said on this thread that the cup isn't being realised over in the UK

yeh i have a 2006 fiesta zetec s, its the one in my sig

i'm jus browsing this forum as i'm already thinking of my next car lol

my cars not even old i got it brand new on a 56 plate in september, i'm signed up on quite a few car forums aswell as all the fiesta ones, just on here to find out what peoples opinions on the new Mk 7 polo Gti is

i've only ever seen 2 on the road and haven't driven one or anything, i actually wanted to see if anyone had compared it to the Fiesta ST as i was thinking about one next year but as they are similar power i thought i may aswell try and get some info on the polo

i'm sure auto express had a road test involving the new polo gti and the ST and there were some other motors up against them but can't remember exactly!
